Experimental Performance Series #4
About the Event
The Experimental Performance Series is a collection of self-produced works from undergraduate and graduate students in theatre and dance, ranging from established works to brand new plays and choreography.
This performance will feature three original works:
\\\r0ck///, choreographed by Connor Voss, is a dance work about rocks and how we can use rocks to improve mental health and wellbeing.
Front Porch Conversations, choreographed by Kaisha Snowden in collaboration with dancers.
Front Porch Conversations addresses the nuances of Black women. The many shapes, fonts, and pieces they come in and how they come in them. It addresses the fact that Black women are not a monolith and your stereotypes will not limit them to it. You are invited to listen to these conversations, not to form or to subject us to your own opinions, but to do nothing other than hear our various forms, regardless of their denigration or exalt, and acknowledge the role you play in perpetuating them.
Happy Daze: A Sorry Memoir, choreographed by Zoe Cushman Walders
